If the Flames want to become an elite team they need to stick with this roster and the lines they had so far. I dont mind Monahan and Johnny staying together but I love lindholm and tkachuk together. They very easily could be our best duo. Backlund and Bennett could be a great 3rd line duo. If mangipane and dube or maybe Bennett step up this year we could have 3 great lines.
I'm also very excited to see how valimaki plays. We need more than anything a gio replacement. Get it from within and this team will finally be an elite team.
If not at least we know what we have with the young guys and a mini rebuild could set us up.
But I have a good feeling about this year if we stay healthy
